Jungzzle
Controls :
Using the arrow keys or the mouse to swipe on a line will move it.
Goal :
Jungzzle is a musical puzzle game where you control lines of instruments to guide the balls to one of the two rings. When the melody is repeated 3 times, the puzzle is solved!
Points :
The more instrument you interact with in one melody, the higher the combo bonus will be! In a melody, the first instrument gives +5, then the second +10, the next +15 ... But you are also rewarded +100 points when you clear a full row, and +500 when it's the whole board!
If you encounter any issue with the web version, please use the download.
This game is a solo project, all the art, code, design and music are made by myself. I do not authorize anyone to use it in any commercial ways, but making videos about it is greatly appreciated. Maybe even making music with it!

Lovely game ! I caught myself playing it for like more than 30min
It's one of the games I'd play on a rainy night tired from the day, looking for some calm inspiration :)
Thank you! The mobile port will surely help with that
I got hypnotized by this, very cool!
Thank you!
Great job here, I love the sound here it is very clear, and also the art style !
Thank you very much! And glad to see you here
I love this game so much, I can't think of a single thing that I would change that could make this game better, I'm really curious to see what happens to it post jam. Really good job.
Thank you very much! I plan on a mobile release with a bit more stuff and saves
Really cool, almost a generative tool! Are the notes locked to a scale or chromatic?
Thank you! I used the 12 TET algorithm to get the note by changing the pitch. I actually forgot to select only the ones that goes well together, that might be a good thing to do next. I don't know much about music theory, but I'm trying to make it as pleasant as possible
While I like the idea that all the rows are connected, I am not gonna lie that I was disappointed that you could not also move things vertically :P
That was a design choice. It reduce the number of possibilities to something that a player can manage. It's already 3125 possibles combinations, making it varied, mostly possible and tricky enough. Letting any block move anywhere would reduce the puzzle potential by a lot. But I might try to see what kind of gameplay it can bring. I'm not really positive about it being better.
idk how it joined together but its fun
Yes I was expecting to give the melody more meaning than it is. The idea is that all the bamboos and up joined together by the music you played on them. It's a little sequence that is also the key to the puzzle. It made more sens in my head. But thank you!
Cool stuff! are all the positions randomized? Sometimes, it feels like it is not possible to get the balls in the holes. But other times, it happens almost automatically^^
Thank you! It is 100% randomized yes. The idea was to give an endless game like tetris where you have to plan your moves to leave good options on the next ones. It may be a bit unfair sadly but it's fun too when it's really tricky to make it work!
